lol. I participated in the JHU CTY programs, and no they don't "aim" them at the top 1% in IQ students. They mainly target those students likely to pay to take their administered tests (ACT/SAT which were almost 100$ a piece IIRC) which then determines if they can enroll in their summer programs- each course being upwards of $3000. Of course the targeted students are more likely to be academically oriented, but this is in no way an indication of their IQ.
And no- scoring well on the ACT/SAT, even if it was in 7th grade, doesn't indicate a top 1% IQ. It indicates a higher IQ yes, but I doubt their is much confidence in saying it is associated to a 137+ IQ.
The hook, line, and sinker with these programs is that they have little to no affect (as I found out) on your college application, especially if you are asian (as per US census)- since so many kids do them now.
